Concrete Repair & Restoration
Fix damaged concrete and restore your surfaces to like-new condition.
When to Repair vs Replace
Not all damaged concrete needs to be torn out and replaced. In many cases, professional repair and restoration can fix the problem at a fraction of the cost of replacement. The key is knowing which approach makes sense for your situation.
Minor cracks, surface damage, small spalling areas, and cosmetic issues can usually be repaired successfully. If the concrete is structurally sound but looks bad, repair is your best option. However, if you have extensive cracking, major settling, deep deterioration, or structural failure, replacement might be the better long-term solution.
We give you honest advice about what your concrete needs. Sometimes a repair will work great. Sometimes replacement is the smarter investment. We walk you through your options and explain the pros and cons of each approach. Our goal is to help you make the right decision for your property and budget.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix
Here in Norwalk, we see the same concrete issues over and over. Most of these problems are fixable when caught early and addressed with proper repair techniques.
Issues We Repair
- Cracks from settling, temperature changes, or poor installation
- Spalling and surface deterioration from weather and wear
- Uneven surfaces and trip hazards from settling or heaving
- Stains from oil, rust, or other materials
- Scaling and flaking from freeze-thaw damage or poor finishing
- Corner and edge damage from impact or deterioration
- Sunken or settled sections that need leveling
Each problem requires specific repair methods. Cracks might need epoxy injection or routing and sealing. Spalling areas need the damaged concrete removed and replaced with repair mortar. Uneven surfaces can sometimes be leveled with mud jacking or polyurethane foam injection. We assess your specific situation and recommend the right repair approach.

Professional Restoration Techniques
Quality concrete repair is more than just patching holes. The repair material must bond properly to the existing concrete. It needs to match in strength and appearance. The underlying cause of the damage must be addressed, or the problem will just come back.
We start every repair by preparing the damaged area correctly. This might mean grinding, sandblasting, or saw cutting to create clean edges. We remove all loose and deteriorated material. Then we apply bonding agents before installing repair materials. For cracks, we use flexible sealants or rigid epoxy depending on the crack type and cause.
After structural repairs are complete, we can restore the appearance of your concrete. This might include resurfacing with a thin overlay, applying decorative coatings, or even color matching to blend repairs with existing concrete. The goal is to make your concrete look good and perform well for years to come. For decorative restoration options, check our stamped concrete services.
